London’s Best Indian Restaurants for Eastern Indian Cuisine | Eater London
"Chef Steven Lee’s Indian-Chinese in Harrow is enveloped in a warm orange glow — partly it’s the colour of the walls, partly the buzz created by locals who regularly flock to the place. He’s originally from Kolkata, and worked in Mumbai’s legendary China Garden before moving to London and cooking at Dalchini in Wimbledon, well-regarded and ground-breaking in its early days. The menu is massive, so not everything comes off — the classic gobi manchurian is disappointing, for instance — but among the more successful dishes are the exquisitely moreish okra with salt and pepper, 1960s-style chilli chicken fiery with green chillies, tender tilapia steamed with soy sauce and ginger, and beef stir-fried with water chestnuts and dried red chillies. Wall-mounted TVs broadcast Lee’s cooking tips, alongside pictures of Indian celebs who’ve visited the restaurant and the press coverage it’s had in India." - Sejal Sukhadwala
